Subject: preferred vs. running browser
Date: Sun, 23 Apr 2006 06:36:14 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060423.063614.74737467.wl@gnu.org> (raw)
IMHO there are two problems with the default browser in browse-url.
. In browse-url-default-browser, Mozilla is preferred to Firefox.
It seems that today Firefox is already more popular than Mozilla,
so I suggest to revert the default order.
. browse-url doesn't check whether one of the listed browsers is
already running (assuming that browse-url-browser-function is not
customized, this is, the value is 'browse-url-default-browser). In
my case I have called firefox, but browse-url called mozilla.
Wouldn't it be better to add some code so that a browser which is
currently running is always tried first?
